ANSI AND TIMED STRIKE LOCK SERIES
In the American market, Dorcas focuses on products tailored to ANSI standards, which feature wider frames and deeper latch throws compared to European hardware.
- Serie 46: A symmetrical and reversible series specifically designed for the American market. It features a 75mm body length, making it a primary choice for tubular type locks often found in U.S. residential and light commercial applications.
- Serie 47: Similar to the 46 series, this is built to combine with ANSI type locks. It features a latch with special length and depth to accommodate standard American hardware and includes a lateral add-on to prevent external manipulation.
- ANSI Compatibility: Products in this category are designed for frames with the standard 4-7/8″ pocket, which is common in hollow metal and aluminum frames across North America.
- Preload Opening (DST): Many American-focused models incorporate Dynamic Sense Technology (DST). This allows the strike to release even under a preload of up to 20kg, which is essential for doors that may have pressure from wind, warped frames, or emergency exiting crowds.
- IP65 Waterproofing: For outdoor gates or perimeter security, Dorcas offers waterproof versions suitable for the varied climates in the American market.
SERIE 46
The Dorcas Serie 46 is specifically engineered for the American market, designed to be compatible with ANSI-standard frames and tubular-type locks. It is a compact, robust solution primarily used for residential and light commercial security
ANSI Symmetrical Design: The body is built to a 75mm length, fitting standard American cutouts for tubular latches.
Universal Compatibility: It is designed to work with most tubular locks and standard American latch depths. High Strength: Despite its compact size, it offers a breaking resistance of 3,900 N (approx. 400 kg), providing high-level security against forced entry.
SERIE 47
The Dorcas Serie 47 is a specialized electric strike developed for the American market, specifically designed to combine with ANSI-type locks. While it shares similarities with the Serie 46, it features a more robust latch assembly and enhanced security measures for the deeper latch throws of standard US commercial hardware.
ANSI Optimized Latch: Features a latch of special depth (13.70 mm) and length, making it a perfect fit for heavy-duty American locks and frames.
Flex Adjustment: Provides a built-in Flex (F) adjustment of +4 -0mm, allowing for precise alignment with the door latch even after the frame has settled
SERIE 57
The Dorcas Serie 57 is a symmetrical and reversible electric strike specifically designed for the American market. It is engineered to pair with ANSI-type locks, featuring a specialized latch length and depth to accommodate larger commercial door hardware common in America
Field-Selectable Operation: A standout feature is the ability to switch between Fail-Secure (power-to-open) and Fail-Safe (power-to-lock) by simply turning a screw on the unit.
Anti-Tamper Design: It includes a lateral insert/add-on that significantly increases the difficulty of manipulating the lock from the outside.
SERIE 84
The Dorcas Serie 84 is a symmetrical and reversible electric strike specifically designed for the American market. It is a flush-mounted solution optimized for ANSI-standard frames, offering a balance of security and installation flexibility for commercial and residential doors.
High Strength and Durability: Engineered for security with a breaking resistance of 3,450 N (approx. 350 kg) and tested for 200,000 electrical cycles.
Symmetrical and Reversible: The non-handed design allows it to be installed on both left-hand and right-hand opening doors, simplifying inventory and onsite fitting.Voltage:10-24V AC/DC

These strikes typically offer the standard Dorcas functional modules:
- Fail-Secure (N): Stays locked without power—ideal for protecting goods in retail or industrial settings.
- Fail-Safe (500): Stays open without power—mandatory for most evacuation and life-safety routes.
- Monitoring (305): Incorporates a micro-sensor to track whether the door is open or closed, facilitating integration with US-based access control and alarm systems.
